The source appears to be Danielle Kinchella-Pistilli, a Freedom Convoy organizer & head of the North Shore chapter of Action4Canada (an extremely discriminatory nationalist organization). Am I supposed to be ashamed that I'm against fascism? I'm so confused. Anyway, trans lives matter.

Daniel Thiele: Well I guess windward_afa (or should I say Stephanie Watson (sic) got offended and blocked me. Cancelling me is.not an option. Thanks to Danielle Pistilli for the info!

Noticing Goy: She lives in North Van. Takes the R2 from Lonsdale every day. Bay 3. Not hard to find her if she becomes an issue.

On Friday, I posted about a far-right rally in North Van. And I've already started getting weird stalkers, harassment & threats against my campaign for District of North Van council. I'm not backing down just because some losers think they can harass progressives into silence.

Daniel Thiele: Let's not elect her for DNV council

22 days until the North Van-Capilano by-election & I am completely over this campaign. "Real local" is so painfully adjacent to "Old Stock Canadians." I've never seen this guy around town & his only media mentions are promotions for his own campaign. But sure, "real local."

Tweet from Stephen Curran, CPC candidate for the North Vancouver-Capilano byelection.

"North Shore residents know the difference between a visiting candidate and a real local. Stephen is proud to live, work, and raise his family right here on the North Shore."

I come from a long line of Summerland orchardists & community leaders. I learned to swim in Okanagan Lake & learned to dive off the yellow raft at Crescent Beach. When will the companies & politicians destroying our planet for profit be accountable for the land they threaten?

Thiele has been door-knocking for CPC candidate @specurran & is also somehow involved in a Freedom Convoy-flavoured Vancouver municipal party TrueBlue Vancouver, which lists Frederick Theile as director operating out of Richmond. (Chocyk is also a longtime anti-LGBT avtivist.)

The rally is scheduled for Aug 8 at 1pm at Ma's office on Esplanade. Speakers include residential school denier & OneBC candidate Jim McMurtry, anti-2SLGBTQIA+ activist Barry Neufeld & Ehsan Arjmand, a PPC candidate for North Van - Capilano in 2025. (sweet hat @seanorr.bsky.social)

There is a far-right rally coming to Lower Lonsdale on Saturday afternoon as part of an absolutely bizarre attempt to recall Bowinn Ma, MLA for North Vancouver-Lonsdale. The organizer is Daniel Thiele, a literal kid that hangs out with Freedom Convoy groups & really hates LGBT folks.

I haven't played Hello Housing Crisis ಠ_ಠ for a few months because it was super depressing but: $3400 for a furnished 500sqft 1-bed in the Crown + Mountain building, located in Lynnmour. You need to make $136,000/year for this to be considered "not entirely financially reckless."

Craislist post:

$3,400 / 1br - 500ft2 - Furnished 1BR Condo with Mountain Views, Parking & Balcony – North Van

Bright and well-maintained furnished 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo available in the Lynnmour area of North Vancouver. This modern home offers approximately 500 sq ft of comfortable living space with mountain views, a private balcony, in-suite laundry, and one underground parking stall.

The unit features a smart and functional layout, quality furnishings, and plenty of natural light, making it an excellent choice for a working professional or couple.

I didn't get any photos of Pride at the Pier last night because I was busy talking to everyone 😅 But I'm so grateful for all of the North Shore folks who come together every year to throw an amazing party, even when the weather isn't the best!

Remember when a bunch of anti-Indigenous pundits started crying because a Nation booked out one single campground for 5 days? Now all campgrounds are closed & under an evacuation alert due to the Fiftynine Creek wildfire. Hwy 97 access is cut off because the highway is closed.

Tweet from Caroline Elliott:

Remember when I said it set a dangerous precedent to shut down Joffre Lakes Provincial Park to non-Indigenous British Columbians?

Now a popular campground at Green Lake Provincial Park in the Cariboo is closed based on ancestry too, during peak camping season.

With 200+ Indigenous groups in BC with overlapping traditional territories effectively covering over 100% of the province, expect more of this. Much more.

And instead of insisting on equal access to parks for all, BC’s NDP government is enforcing these race-based closures.

I will never, ever stop fighting for this very simple principle: BC’s beautiful provincial parks belong to ALL British Columbians.

Screenshot from BC Parks website

Park is partially closed due to wildfire
The Fiftynine Creek Wildfire has forced the closure of Emerald Bay, Sunset View and Arrowhead campgrounds.

In the interest of public safety, BC Parks has partially closed this park until further notice.

Get up-to-date information from other official sources, such as the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS), the local regional district, and Drive BC.

You can still visit other BC Parks that remain unaffected by wildfire. Find other places to visit on the find a park page.

Park is under evacuation alert.

Celebrating the loss of housing during a housing crisis is fucking ghoulish.

Tweet from Caroline Elliott:

Some excellent news!

The housing facility I spoke about in the video below — which would have put hundreds of young girls at risk by allowing drug use *right next door* to one of the North Shore’s largest dance schools — will no longer proceed in this location.

This shows what we can achieve when neighbours & community members stand up together for basic common sense!💪

Credit to the District of North Van for listening to the public & making this call. (Still wondering why North Shore NDP MLAs welcomed it in the first place 🤔)

We need housing units and we also need drug treatment facilities. BUT we need to do it smart and keep our kids safe, first and foremost.

Tweet from Caroline Elliott:

A 40-unit “low barrier” (i.e, drugs allowed) housing facility is being proposed literally *right next door* to one of the North Shore’s largest dance schools, exposing hundreds of children & teenage girls to real risks.

The disregard shown by all levels of government toward everyday British Columbians never ceases to amaze me.

The NDP’s North Shore MLAs welcomed the project. I’m unaware of any comments from Opposition MLAs.

We don’t have to accept this as normal.
It’s time for regular British Columbians to speak up.

Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ "advocates" are deeply, deeply troubled by paint. How sad for them.

Tweet by Amy Hamm

The problem is that rainbow crosswalks are not, as the Langley RCMP asserts, “a symbol of inclusion, diversity, and community pride.”

They are symbols of ideological conquest, power, and far-left extremism. And I don’t blame those who’ve had it with forced rainbow compliance.

It hasn't been a great Pride season in the Lower Mainland. People who cooked their brains on far-right rage bait have decided that anything which simply recognizes 2SLGBTQIA+ people is somehow bad or dangerous. It dehumanizes & diminishes 2SLGBTQIA+ people. vancouver.citynews.ca/2026/07/02/r...

Video surveillance has identified three teens on electric dirt bikes vandalizing the crosswalk.

“Police are releasing photographs of the individuals and the electric dirt bikes involved in hopes that members of the public may be able to assist investigators in identifying those responsible,” said Sgt. Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP.

Lion dances at North Vancouver Car-Free Day! Traffic congestion is a problem on the North Shore & transit is a solution to keep people moving. @movementyvr.bsky.social's Low-Income Transit Pass campaign means folks won't have to choose between a bus or Seabus & groceries: movementyvr.ca/litpass/

Anyone who has followed incel & adjacent movements bubbling up in the 2010s would have noted that incels have long obsessed with Marxism & Bolshevism. Jordan Peterson's house was literally covered in Soviet socialist realist art. This isn't "far left." This is a fascist ideology forged on Reddit.

So...VPD posted an AI slop photo of a drug bust, deleted the post, and reposted a 'corrected' version of the photo. Thankfully the Tums turned into coins and the bills look more like legal tender. Cops using AI to generate politically-motivated content seems like a pretty big deal.

Original version of a photo of money and drugs from VPD showing signs of generative AI, particularly garbled amounts of bills.

Tweet from VPD

#VPDNews: The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) has made significant progress in disrupting drug trafficking and street disorder around the Commercial–Broadway corridor during welfare cheque‑issue week.

In the past 24 hours, the VPD has made nine arrests for possession for the purpose of trafficking and seized more than 114 grams of packaged drugs, along with over $3,000 in cash. This announcement comes one day after VPD issued a public warning following seven overdose incidents occurring at the same time near East 10th Avenue and Broadway.

Officers have been conducting targeted enforcement around Commercial Drive and Broadway, an area that historically sees spikes in drug activity, violence, and overdoses during welfare cheque‑issue week.

When VPD officers attended one of the overdose incidents yesterday, they located multiple weapons, including a samurai sword and several knives.

“Our teams have been working tirelessly to curb drug trafficking and disorder in the Commercial–Broadway area during this high‑risk period,” says Acting Inspector Astrid Bonter, District three Commander. “The arrests and seizures made over the past day reflect the dedication of our officers and our commitment to reducing overdoses and disrupting the flow of toxic drugs through this corridor.”

Vancouver Police will continue targeted enforcement to enhance public safety and reduce harm in the community.

This is such a weird non-story. Many in the Canadian far-right encourage their followers to move to Mexico for "safety reasons," for which they mean "Diversity is scary & I experienced consequences for my hate 😭" A quick look at the person's account clears up any questions about their motivations.

Hi, not sure why my encounter with @PierrePoilievre turned into #AirportGate… Just like you have a story, I do as well. I lived in Vancouver for over 20 years…and yes, I left for safety reasons. I hope you have a wonderful Father’s Day with your beautiful family.

You'll never believe that the same far-right grifters who don't live in BC but suddenly started pumping up Caroline Elliott in the BC Cons leadership race have moved on to Curran.

Here's your chance to see Pierre Poilievre in person. Join Poilievre, Stephen Curran, and Thomas Isaac for a Property Rights townhall in West Vancouver.

Property rights, government overreach, and the future of Canada.

The guy on the right is Stephen Curran, CPC candidate in the North Vancouver-Capilano byelection to replace Jonathan Wilkinson. (His campaign office is in the old Mo's at Lonsdale & Esplanade.) Cannot imagine standing behind a failson grifter like Poilievre in the year of our lord 2026.

Poilievre: I met a lady at the airport the other day who told me that she moved from Vancouver to Mexico so that she would feel more safe. Let that sink in. She feels more safe in Mexico than in Vancouver.

(Mexico’s homicide rate is more than 13x higher than Vancouver’s)

The Ministry of Transportation is taking action at Bowser Island in North Van. Residents were ordered to leave by today (June 15). It seems they haven't been forced out yet. Bowser Island has been around for a few years but instead of creative thinking we're just creating more homelessness. Cool.

Far-right influencer Chris Elston of Surrey, BC (who campaigns against 2SLGBTQIA+ rights as Billboard Chris) was brought to Madrid by Hazte Oír. Hazte Oír's global platform CitizenGO is funded by Russian oligarchs working to promote transnational hate. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2022...

Tweet from Chis Elston (Billboard Chris)

Thank you to hazteoir for inviting me to Madrid. I’m on my way home now. That was quite a 48 hours!

I still have video to upload, which I will try to do between flights.

I’m headed back oversees next weekend, and with my 16-year-old daughter!

Adventure awaits!

Screenshot of a text conversation with Billboard Chris and a friend.

Oh man! Where? You need our help? Madrid?

Yeah. Sent tweet. Typing from watch. Have to go.

We are on it. Stay safe.

Did my tweet go through. I was rushed.

Yes. Do you have a lawyer we can work with? And where are you being taken?

Birring is required to not communicate with Povah, but Povah continues to post on Birring's Facebook profile 🤷‍♀️ (Povah goes by "Errol Peters" on Facebook.)

Birring & Povah both attended their anti-2SLGBTQIA+ protest at Fraser Heights Secondary on Friday, June 5. Birring & Povah plan to spend all of June rallying against queer & trans rights at Surrey schools.

Birring is currently required to not enter the area of the crosswalk at University Dr & Old Yale Rd. Co-organizer Errol Povah wrote "Black Lines Matter" on the crosswalk but for some reason he was not charged.

According to social media posts, Amrit Birring has been charged with mischief over $5000 [s 430(3) of the CCC] over the weekend for defacing a Pride crosswalk in Surrey on May 30 as a protest against anti-2SLGBTQIA+ people. He is required to appear in court on July 28.

Cato Institute (co-founded by the chair of the board & CEO for Koch Industries) wrote a version of this in 2025. Socialism is the same as fascism, say the people who want to rot your brain on political slop. Fair pay, a good home & affordable groceries are apparently the same as Nazism. Who knew?

Young Americans Like Socialism Too Much—That’s a Problem Libertarians Must Fix
By Michael Chapman

A recent survey by the Cato Institute and YouGov paints a troubling picture: 62 percent of Americans aged 18–29 say they hold a “favorable view” of socialism, and 34 percent say the same of communism. This is shocking given that communism is responsible for 100 million deaths worldwide and is rooted in socialism, the same philosophy that spawned both Mussolini’s fascism and Hitler’s National Socialism. To favor socialism is to flirt with tyranny.

windward antifascist@windward-afa· Jun 1

Birring attempted to recall then-MLA of Surrey-Green Timbers Rachna Singh. He organized the Surrey location of the 1 Million March 4 Children. His disruptions at schools brought about the Safe Access to Schools Act. Yet he has experienced virtually no consequences for his hate.
